First time duck incubating! Help!

[Katelyn1153]

I just started with khaki duck eggs. I'm on day 5 and they all have a C shape air sac some have a large air sac at one end of the egg. Still non have veins and every where I look online people candle on day 5 and have veins. Could it be that all 18 of mine are dead? Here are 2 of my eggs. All 18 look the same though. Please help!

Thank you! Everything I find on line is so mixed and twisted no one has the same answer. One person said if you don't see veins by day 6 to toss them. I would hate to do that if I'm just jumping the gun and to antsy to wait lol. Thanks again!!

HI,
Better safe than sorry . I never toss till day 11 or later.............
I read a post today that someone did eggtoptsy because they thought there was no growth only to find all eggs were developing.
